Chapter 143 The benefits of the inn
The next morning, Cheng Lushi, who was getting up early, said goodbye to Shen Guang reluctantly. Last night, the husband instructed the three of them for two hours and asked them to play a song called "Pipa Yu", which made the three of them feel excited.
Who doesn’t know that the saints love music today? The three of them may not be able to rely on the song Chen Langjun to make a future. For the three of them, Chen Guang is their noble person.
"Mr. Lang, let's take the lead. If you come to Chang'an, we will definitely sweep the bed to greet you."
"Three of you are here to go, and the journey is smooth."
Chen Guang said goodbye to Cheng Lushi and the other three. He knew that the three of them had a sense of fame and fortune. He taught the three of them to "Pipa Yu". When they arrived in Chang'an City, they would definitely make a name for themselves. He was not afraid that the three of them would dare to slander his song. After all, there were records on the post station, and he also endorsed the Kucha king Bai Xiaojie.
These three people are not stupid people, so they naturally know what to choose!
"My husband, I'll go there."
As they said goodbye, Cheng Lushi and the other three rode away with great enthusiasm. They made up their minds and practiced the song "Pipa Word" together every night along the way. When they arrived at Chang'an City, they would show off their skills.
After seeing off the three of them, Chen Guang returned to the inn. They should have set off, but when he saw Bai Aqiao sleeping soundly, he intended to let her sleep for a while.
"Langjun."
When he saw the respectful Chief Baiyi, Chen Guang couldn't help but say, "The Chief Baiyi does not need to be too polite. He is just a judge, why should he be so careful?"
"The husband is a god, how can he be disrespectful?"
Baiyi Chief believes in Buddhism and is a lay Buddhist at home. In his opinion, Chen Guang is the reincarnation of King Jinnaluo, otherwise how could he play such wonderful music? The pipa that Chen Guang used yesterday was taken back to the room and worshipped.
Chen Guang couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "I'm not a god, Chief Baiyi."
Seeing that Chen Guang had no airs, the head of the post was relieved. Although he was a powerful neighborhood household, he was able to become the postmaster, but he had received more places for so many years, and his edges had long been smoothed out by the generals and officials.
He didn't take ordinary officials seriously, but he would not neglect people like Chen Langjun. But he didn't expect that Chen Langjun was not the noble person who looked down on them. Therefore, when Chen Guang asked about the situation of the post station, he immediately knew everything.
"My husband doesn't know that there are large areas of makita near my post station, which grows alfalfa and other things. The horses in this post station are all carefully selected good horses."
The scale of the post stations in the Tang Dynasty far exceeded that of all dynasties, including post towers, post stables, post halls, post warehouses, etc. For example, the post station of Baiyicheng, is the largest in the Luyi. It is almost a small city. There are several post halls, several post warehouses that store fish, meat, wine and food, as well as ponds and forests.
"Master Baiyi is good at raising horses?"
Chen Guang soon realized from the words of the White Post Office that the local tyrant, who served as the post Office Office Office, seemed to be a big horse breeder. You should know that although everyone in the four towns of Anxi have horses, the source of horses is still mainly purchased from the tribes such as Geluo, Uighur and Tuqishi.
Gao Xianzhi has his own horse farm. Although they raise good horses, they are not large in number, and they are all given to the guards around him. Moreover, the Han soldiers in the four towns of Anxi are mainly infantry, and there are only a few thousand real cavalrymen. Although the infantry and cavalry are mixed in the Tang army's combat organization, infantry are the main force, but in Shen Guang's view, it is a pity that there are so many places suitable for horse raising in Anxi, which is not easy to run a horse farm.
However, the officials in the Protectorate who are good at raising horses are treasured. He can't even dig it even if he wants to dig it. Even Feng Changqing can't help him in this matter.
"That's natural. Our family has been shedding horses for generations. In the past, they raised horses for the king."
The head of Baiyi said that although he used the surname of King Kucha, he was not the royal family of Bai. It was because his ancestors had made great contributions to raising horses for King Kucha. At that time, Kucha was still the overlord of the Western Regions, often conquering small countries around, and finally became a great country in Anxi.
"The Tang Dynasty set up a Protectorate in Kucha Town. This day is so peaceful. The king doesn't need us to raise so many horses."
At that time, the great-grandfather of Baiyi was still raising horses for the Bai family in Yancheng. However, later, the Anxi Protectorate was moved to Kucha Town, and the Protectorate directly took charge of various parts of Kucha, so they left Yancheng and became a big family here.
"Master Baiyi, I wonder if there are children in your family who are good at raising horses?"
There are also large pastures suitable for grazing in Huoshao City. Chen Guang has never liked to be controlled by others. In his opinion, raising horses and raising war horses is imperative, and the sooner the better. The Anshi Rebellion is only eight years left. How much strength he can accumulate in these eight years is related to whether he can protect the entire Anxi in the future to deal with the Dashi and Tubo.
"Mr. This is..."
The head of the post of Bai's post couldn't help but thump. He seemed to feel that his family was running around. Although the head of the post was very glorious, if his children could follow such noble people as Chen Langjun, they would definitely have a bright future.
"I want to build a horse farm in Huoshaocheng, but I am short of talents who are good at raising horses. If the head of Baiyi is willing, I am willing to spend a lot of money to hire..."
"Where is my unscrupulous son, it is a blessing for my incompetent sons."
The postmaster Bai hurriedly said, and then called his three sons over. He could be the postmaster for many years. Instead of letting his three sons stay here and wasting their time, it would be better to go to Huo Shaocheng to raise horses for Shen Langjun. Anyway, the three sons in the postmaster also do the same job.
Looking at the three honest-looking Bai family members in front of them, Chen Guang saw that they were covered with fodder. He thought they had just been called from the stable, so he couldn't help but nod. At this time, Chief Bai's post had explained the whole story with his three sons. The three of them were willing. They had never been to Yancheng in their lives, and they had only been around a hundred miles from the post station since they were young.
"A Da, I went to Huo Shaocheng and you two brothers will raise horses for your husband. Don't lose our reputation."
"Don't worry, Aye, I heard that there are good wild horses in Yanqi Town. When I go, I will definitely catch a few horse kings for my husband."
Bai Dalang said with a simple face that he is the oldest among the three brothers, and he has also learned the ability to raise horses with the eldest son of Baiyi since he was a child. In recent years, he has been teaching two brothers.
Chen Guang listened to the side and felt that he had made a profit this time. Yanqi horses are famous horses in Anxi, but the wild horses are in the places where the Gobi Desert and grasslands are socialized. It is difficult to capture them. He does not have such talents under his command. Now he is making up for this shortcoming.
"Baiyi Chief, if the children of your clan are interested, they can go to a certain fire city with the three little boys."
Chen Guang fell in love with the children of the Baiyi Lord's family. The posters in the Anxi area are mostly local big families like Baiyi Lord. They are rich enough, with many children in the family and all of them are skilled in riding skills. They can pull out more than a dozen or even dozens of riders at any time.
To count the post stations in Anxi, the post leaders are somewhat like knights in the medieval European era. Because they serve as post leaders, they can be exempted from taxes, but they have to bear the losses of post station horses and animals. If the post horse is lost, they have to make up for it themselves, but they can also be recognized by the court.
"That's good. If your husband wants to do so, I will ask my sons from the clan to follow Dalang and the others to go to the fire city."
The White Post Office immediately agreed that the peace in Kucha town is very peaceful, and the children of the clan are idle, so it is better to follow this Shen Langjun and have a chance in the future.
"Then I will write a book, and then the three little boys will bring their own letters and tokens to burn the city."
Chen Guang immediately wrote a letter in the post hall, while the head of the post asked his sons to select the children of the clan to go to Huoshao City.
Chapter completed!
